I made a resolution for 2018 that, in my mind, is one of the few resolution that is a real resolution and it would be easy to maintain and actually fulfill in 2018:

It is the end of January, and I thought I should give a small report on how my socializing is going so far.

January has been a weird month. I had my last exams, a lot of free days in the middle of exams and now until my Internship starts. It is definitely a “what do I do with my life these days?” month.

But January is the month I ‘ve been waiting since September, because that is FINALLY A TIME TO DO NOTHING AND SLEEP AND ENJOY FREEDOM after the exams, obviously. 🙂

EVENT #1

Theater Christmas
I’ve been a part in the University Theater for a whole 1 year now and one Saturday we got together and had fun, played games, ate food and exchanged gifts. I was an evening I was waiting for. The gift exchange was simple: there is a hat. In hat are pieces of paper with number that gifts are given. The number you get is the gift that you get. And I got the gift that actually would be a gift perfectly and exactly bough for me. It was a book about film directors and actors with descriptions, description about their biggest works, interviews and more. And this gift made me so so happy! I still to this day do not know from whom the gift is from. 

EVENT #2

Board Game evening
This was an event I went to with my university friend. It is an event that happens a lot, in different locations and is hosted by the top board game store in Latvia. At first we were there 2, then we found a company and new friends, we played “Dixit”, “Codenames”, “Shit happens”, “Carcassone” and “Port Royal”. We had so much fun, and it was such a nice event, I met new people which was one of the goals for this resolution – meeting new people. My friend, who had never been to a board game event or played all these games we played was hyped. She is ready to go to the next board game event, that is actually happening this Friday, so.. already have one event planned for February. 😉
Oh! I almost forgot.. they posted a contest on Facebook – press “going” to the event, come to the event and get a board game! And guess what.. there was a hat. With names. And they pulled out my name! So now I have “Codenames” with me! Weee!!! I was so happy. And that evening luck with me all the time. I think I won most of the games, and I didn’t want to go home! I had so much adrenaline that I just couldn’t sleep until 2 am [I think.. didn’t check the time].

FEBRUARY PLANS?

Yes. I have 2 events planned for February already, one of them is the board game event that  I mentioned. I also have my internship so I will be more out of house, but hopefully these 2 are not the only events I attend. 🙂

And what was your event of the month?

Best wishes,
